If you partially create the home directory, ie create the Documents folder to put something in it, the rest of it will NOT be created on first login.
So, either properly build it (PITA) or add your additions to the defualt user template and let it build naturally…. just be careful what you add.
I saw something similar a very long time ago… any chance you randomly assigning UID to your admin account? This happened (something similar actually) to me when I had my UID randomly assigned for supposed security reasons (not my decision) and it landed on one of the prebuilt admin accounts…. created havoc.
oddly enough I had reason to use an older copy of the script tonight and GOT the error for the first time.
I noticed something I had never seen before, an instadmg folder in /tmp with garage band receipts in it… weird….
Good thing I wont be using this old version of the script anymore(don’t ask, its not worth it)
In my experience, having tried what your doing, and then having to redo the whole thing again for each and every update…
Just using the installers and loading them into my build train… simple, safe, auditable…
but, hey, do what works for you.
